Taken from the BEST Thing thread:
So, I had my first real accident on my bicycle today, which was probably the best thing that happened on my ride, as I can gauge my reaction better now, since I have not crashed since I was a kid.
I turned this corner too sharply, had pedal strike, back wheel jumped out, I tried to correct, but my bars jerked to the right; flew out of my cages and over my handlebars, bounced off the ground, hit the back/top area of my head, and rolled over into the opposing lane, where an SUV stopped in sheer terror.
Also, it was a day I chose not to wear my helmet, as I was just running down the street to my friend's house, then coming back. I am glad I did not hit my head extremely hard. It felt more like someone punched me in the back of the head, and I have had huge rocks and **** thrown at my head.
I stood up, said "aww ****," picked up my glasses and bike, and rode away. The lady in the SUV checked to see if I was okay, which was nice. I am not sure she knew what to do if something worse had happened, considering how horrified she looked.
**** sucks. I have a bunch of raspberries on the left side of my left knee, side, and elbow.
It is weird because I had pedal strike earlier on this turn onto a hill towards my friend's house. I was not expecting the pedal strike, but managed to correct it, ended up going onto the sidewalk to avoid eating ****, kept riding.
It was just not my day!

hey I know this isnt the right place to post this but Im a kilo tt rider and didnt feel like it was worth its own thread. Can someone help me identify the brand of this cog? I got it for cheap ($10) and the guy who sold it to me claims its an unbranded surly cog, which i dont believe. Any ideas?

It looks like it might have been prototype and didn't go through the whole machining process, but it definitely looks like a Surly otherwise.
For 10 bucks though, who really cares? Ride it till its worn.
Also Surly cogs are steel, not alu.

I used to have drops, didn't like them so I moved onto rb021's. VERY comfortable. I suggest getting a wider one, otherwise get a Syntace.
Finally, yes that's electrical tape with spare bar tape underneath to protect my tt if I wipe out.
